Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Common questions in Duns
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we are called out for in Duns
The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Scratches and knife marks
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Scorch marks from pans

Advice
What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Duns. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Duns. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Duns, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- No need to remove anything
